I used these guys for some touch up on my '68 and the color was very close. Calypso Coral Orange is at the top of the list at the link: 1972 Ford All Models Colors of Touch Up Paint although the entry is a bit confusing. You could call them and ask for clarification. They were helpful to me when I called with questions.

This is Rustoleum orange



I suggest visiting your local jobber for a quart of automotive calypso coral.... single stage urethane.

I was going to recommend these guys as well. Expensive, but how else are you going to get exact paint in aerosol?

I suggest calling your local "Automotive" paint store. Yellow pages,google,Bing,etc. Usually they can custom mix some paint and put it in a rattle can you. Ain't cheap,but worth it IMHO.
